The Rules Of Attraction

by Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules Of Attraction Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Rules Of Attraction book, From the bestselling author or Less Than Zero and American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction is a startlingly funny, kaleidoscopic novel about three students at a small, affluent liberal-arts college in New England with no plans for the future--or even the present--who become entangled in a curious romantic triangle. Bret Easton Ellis trains his incisive gaze on the kids at self-consciously bohemian Camden College and treats their sexual posturings and agonies with a mixture of acrid hilarity and compassion while exposing the moral vacuum at the center of their lives. Lauren changes boyfriends every time she changes majors and still pines for Victor who split for Europe months ago and she might or might not be writing anonymous love letter to ambivalent, hard-drinking Sean, a hopeless romantic who only has eyes for Lauren, even if he ends up in bed with half the campus, and Paul, Lauren's ex, forthrightly bisexual and whose passion masks a shrewd pragmatism. They waste time getting wasted, race from Thirsty Thursday Happy Hours to Dressed To Get Screwed parties to drinks at The Edge of the World or The Graveyard. The Rules of Attraction is a poignant, hilarious take on the death of romance. The basis for the major motion picture starring James Van Der Beek, Shannyn Sossamon, Jessica Biel, and Kate Bosworth.

Reflexion Als Gesellschaftskritik Untersuchung Am Roman The Rules Of Attraction Von Bret Easton Ellis

by Melanie Bossen, Reflexion Als Gesellschaftskritik Untersuchung Am Roman The Rules Of Attraction Von Bret Easton Ellis Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Reflexion Als Gesellschaftskritik Untersuchung Am Roman The Rules Of Attraction Von Bret Easton Ellis book, Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Frauenstudien / Gender-Forschung, Note: 2,0, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit seinem 1985 erschienen Debutroman "Less than zero" gilt Bret Easton Ellis als einer der Vorreiter des postmodernen Adoleszenzromans. Zwei Jahre spater veroffentlichte der damals 23jahrige Collegestudent seinen zweiten Roman "The rules of attraction." Die vollig tabulose Darstellung von Sexualitat, Alkoholismus und Drogenexzessen" und die Techniken einer filmischen Schreibweise, die durch schnelle Schnittfolgen und rasante Dialoge bestimmt wird," ernteten vor allen Dingen von alteren LeserInnen erbitterte Proteste. Dieser neuen Gattung des Adoleszenzromans und deren AutorInnen - neben Ellis zahlten z. B. auch Jay McInerney, Michael Chabon und Tama Janowitz zu den so genannten angry young americans" - wurde der Vorwurf gemacht, dass sie den unausgesprochenen Konsens [unterlaufen], der sich seit 1968 in weiten Teilen des Jugendliteraturbetriebs durchgesetzt hat, nach dem Jugendliteratur primar der Gesellschaftskritik [...] zu dienen und zumindest ein paar richtige Handlungsweisen fur den Alltag zu vermitteln hatte." In meiner Arbeit mochte ich anhand von Bret Easton Ellis Biographie und Textbeispielen aus The rules of attraction aufzeigen, dass Ellis in seinem Roman, der in den 80ern spielt, einer Dekade, die er selbst als ein ausgesprochen hassliches Jahrezehnt" bezeichnet, durchaus Gesellschaftskritik mit Hilfe einer schonungslosen Reflexion betreibt. Dabei werde ich vor allen Dingen auf die Kultur des Amerikas der achtziger Jahre eingehen, die von Konsum, Hedonismus und Egoismus gepragt war und ich werde jedes Phanomen mit Textbeispielen untermauern. Im Kapitel 1.6 setze ich mich mit einigen Thesen aus Ines Kapperts Text "Krisendiskurs Mann': Ermachtigung auf Umwegen (Fight Club, American Psycho)" auseinander und untersuche inwieweit dieser Diskurs auch Thema in Bret Easton Ellis Roman "The rules of"

Bret Easton Ellis S Controversial Fiction

by Sonia Baelo-Allué, Bret Easton Ellis S Controversial Fiction Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Bret Easton Ellis S Controversial Fiction book, Both literary author and celebrity, Bret Easton Ellis represents a type of contemporary writer who draws from both high and the low culture, using popular culture references, styles and subject matters in a literary fiction that goes beyond mere entertainment. His fiction, arousing the interest of the academia, mass media and general public, has fuelled heated controversy over his work. This controversy has often prevented serious analysis of his fiction, and this book is the first monograph to fill in this gap by offering a comprehensive textual and contextual analysis of his most important works up to the latest novel Imperial Bedrooms. Offering a study of the reception of each novel, the influence of popular, mass and consumer culture in them, and the analysis of their literary style, it takes into account the controversies surrounding the novels and the changes produced in the shifty terrain of the literary marketplace. It offers anyone studying contemporary American fiction a thorough and unique analysis of Ellis's work and his own place in the literary and cultural panorama.

The Rules Of Love

by Daniel Marques, The Rules Of Love Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Rules Of Love book, Love and breakups are part of an existential cycle that nobody can live without, even though they manifest in different levels and under a variety of unpredictable scenarios. The emotional suffering and joys that such experiences bring can't be erased from memory, so it's important to confront them and analyze personal believes wisely. Such exercise requires the understanding of the purpose of love and its positive outcomes. And, even though it may be interpreted differently by each person, it can be conceptualized and redefined according to experience. The most common approach to love is the need to share a life together with another person, which allows us to label those we meet as willing or unwilling, while being aware of who we attract and reject. This said, relationships fail when the path shared diverges into more than one single direction. However, the one being rejected knows that he or she has failed in providing something necessary for the two paths to become unified. As an example, a woman that criticizes men, makes them feel rejected and unloved, decreasing their compassion towards her. And, this happens because there's a contradiction between sharing a common purpose while holding to divergent believes. The problem with breakups and divorces is that nobody wants to confront the problem and tell the other what went wrong, but he or she, will naturally need to make his own assumptions and conclusions, in order to find peace in his or her mind. Affairs are the most common assumptions, but even this can be justified by an unhealthy relationship, either they exist or not. There are unknown rules in love, which lead to all kinds of difficulties related to maintaining a healthy relationship, but, if known, could allow maximizing the success of existing ones as well.
